This has been asked before, but with the rising costs, how are the shooting costs at your club holding out? Since I stated shooting skeet a few weeks ago, I have been shooting like crazy. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, I go out to the club and I have been shooting 3-4 rounds of skeet a day. (I'm really having a blast!) Our club will be raising the price of shooting trap, skeet and sporting clays August the first. I don't know what sporting clays will be but I know trap and skeet will go up to $4.00 a round, which still isn't too bad compared to some clubs. We have a special deal where you can by a punch card and get 10 rounds for $37.50, (or a $20.00 for $75.00) but you have to be a member to buy one. So, that is still only $3.75 a round. Not too bad. I shoot at the Middletown Sportsmans Club, by the way, and you can find our website by typing in the name on Yahoo. So, how are the prices at your club holding out?

The costs at the local club are continually rising but they're still reasonable. I think it's mostly due to the fact that we have no paid faculty. Our club only has skeet and trap and most people around here (SE Alabama) used to shoot sporting clays at Bear Creek Sporting Clays in Panama City, Florida..... Here what happened to their business..... http://www.bearcreek.net/Adam

Our club in Memphis Tn. is member owned and has a manager and about 4 paid workers on duty 7 days a week...we probably have close to 3000 members and it's one of the nicest ranges in the country.
All our machines have electronic counters.
Trap, Skeet and Wobble Trap is .13 cents a target or $3.25 per 25 rounds...5 stand and Sporting clay comes to about .20 cents a target or $20 bucks per hundred.
You can get by alittle cheaper if you rent/buy a preset counter.

At Elm Fork in Dallas a round of Sporting clays (100 targets) is about 45.00 with tax and everything. I would go to Alpine but that's a 100 mile round trip so the money saved on targets and time would be eaten up buy gas. I think a round of sporting at alpine is still 35.00.

I'm paying $40 for 100 Sporting. I haven't shot skeet or trap in so long I really don't know what they charge at my regular range. I'm guessing $7 or more. This is at the largest range in the greater Los Angeles area.

Our club is at $4.00 the extream is $2 to 7.50 in our area. The $2 guys are member owned and work very hard our $4 is member owned but lazy with a paid manager, the $7.50 is a private for profit co.

around of 5-stand is $9.70 at American, too bad because I won't pay that much just because I won't be ripped off like that.

We(Purgatory Clay Sports) charge non-members $5 for trap, skeet and 5-stand and 12.50 for 50 sporting clays. Members pay $4.50 and $12.00. Members can also buy a punch card for $100 that contains $115 in punches, making the net cost $4.37 and $10.87.
Cedar City charges $4.00 and $3.50 for trap(non-members and members). Kanab is the same. Both offer punch cards tht further reduce the cost.
Membership in all three clubs is $25, per year.
We also have no payroll, rent or utilities.

Amarillo Gun Club member prices are:
Annual memebership $125
Trap and Skeet - $5
Five Stand $7
We have had some money problems and until I read this thread I assumed we weren't charging enough. We have paid trappers (kids). We don't have a paid managager which I am not sure saves any money. I called Silverleaf in Oklahoma and Windwalker in Midland and the San Angelo club and they were all a couple of dollars per round higher.
Best,
Mike
I am glad to be here.
